Natural History
- Ganglioneuromas are rare tumors that most frequently start in the autonomic nerve cells, which may be in any part of the body. The tumor are usually noncancerous (benign).

- Paralysis
- Local recurrence
Common complications that can develop as a result of the treatment of ganglioneuroma include:[2][3]
- Bowel obstruction (adhesions)
- Horner syndrome
- Acute urinary retention
- Scoliosis
- Cortical blindness
- Fatigue
